About Randy Christensen
I am a guidance, navigation, and control engineer with experience in aided inertial navigation, high precision pointing control, and estimation algorithms. While I enjoy all challenging engineering tasks, my current research interests include GPS-denied navigation and control for autonomous vehicles, linear covariance analysis, spacecraft rendezvous and proximity operations, and terrain-relative navigation for autonomous lunar landers. I am an entrepreneurial person. I genuinely enjoy learning new things and pushing the state of the art, and I look forward to new challenges and opportunities.
